WARNING: When using electric tools, machines or equipment basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of re, electric shock and personal injury.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp, wet or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose
your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don’t let them
handle machines, tools or extension cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difcult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly installed and grounded. Grounding
provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in any way. If in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded according to code, check with a qualied electrician.
5. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerator enclosures. When your body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wherever
“live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT
TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent electric
shock if you contact a live wire.
6. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry power tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it. Protect the
cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil and solvents, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
7. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD.
8. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or wet conditions can cause water to enter
the tool and lead to electric shock.
9. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE FOR ITS LENGTH.
10.. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust. Equipment also should be in a high
location or locked up to keep out of reach of children.

12. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
13. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a
tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
14. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, non-
electrically conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from harm.
15. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you’re doing produces metal lings, dust or wood chips.
Goggles are acceptable in other situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of ne or
course dust.
16. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It’s safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across machines that
are running.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. For safe performance keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
19. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.
20. ALWAYS CHECK AND MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ANY ADJUSTING KEYS OR WRENCHES before turning the
tool on. Left attached, these parts can y off a moving part and result in personal injury.
21. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF IT CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON OR OFF. Have your tool repaired before using it.
22. DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Changing attachments or accessories can be
dangerous if the tool could accidentally start.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Don’t operate any tool when you are tired.
24. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using this tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding or moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and other conditions that may affect its operation. Inspect
screws and tighten any that are loose. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorised service centre. Don’t use the tool if switch does not turn it on and off properly.
25. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
26. SERVICE AND REPAIRS should be made by qualied repair technicians at an authorised repair centre. Improperly
repaired tools could cause serious shock or injury.
1. Make sure the cut-off wheel is securely mounted as described in the assembly instructions before connecting the
tool to a power supply. Do not tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
2. Check wheel for ssures and cracks and test for normal operation prior to use.
3. Use only cut-off wheels rated for 4400 rpm or greater. Always store the wheels in a dry place with little
temperature variation.
4. Always ease the abrasive wheel against the work piece when starting to cut. A harsh impact can break the wheel.
5. Always press the trigger switch and allow the cut-off wheel to reach full speed before cutting.
